Terry Downs of Fairfax helps his neighborhood environmental group and signs a petition to protect the Shenandoah salamander, an endangered species at both state and federal levels. The Salamander Savers 4-H Club is lobbying the Virginia General Assembly to name the Shenandoah salamander as the state amphibian. The group collected 50 signatures at their exhibit last weekend at the 69th annual 4-H Fair & Carnival.
